With Rabbi Yehuda Leib Groner
Personal Secretary of the LUBAVITCHER REBBE for over forty years!
Wednesday, July 2nd ~ 7:30pm
Chabad House - 2352 Albany Avenue
A rare opportunity to learn about the life and leadership of the Rebbe from someone who was at his side for many decades.
Marking the 20th anniversary of the passing of the Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, leader of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement
Described as the most influential rabbi in modern history, the Rebbe’s pioneering efforts to reach out lovingly to every Jew and connect them with their Jewish heritage have touched millions of lives and forever transformed the landscape of Jewish life. His teachings about the inherent goodness of all mankind, and the infinite potential of every individual and each good deed, galvanized countless far and wide, and are increasingly studied.
In addition to his unparalleled role in the Jewish community as both a preeminent scholar and leader, the Rebbe was the only rabbi ever to receive the Congressional Gold Medal, and to have an American national day, Education and Sharing Day, proclaimed in his honor.
Rabbi Groner was at the Rebbe’s side as he interacted with countless individuals from a wide array of backgrounds, including statesmen and artists as diverse as Ronald Reagan, Robert F. Kennedy, Yitzchak Rabin, Menachem Begin, Elie Wiesel, and Bob Dylan, as well as countless “nameless” individuals who were each showered with his individual attention and love.
This event is a rare opportunity to learn about the life and leadership of the Rebbe, up close and personal, from someone who worked behind the scenes for many decades.
Governor Dannel P. Malloy has proclaimed July 1, 2014 (the actual anniversary of his passing), as a “Day of Good Deeds & Kindness” in the State of Connecticut and is calling on all citizens “to increase in their acts of goodness and kindness towards one another”.
“In our reflections of the life and legacy of the Rebbe,” said Governor Dannel P. Malloy, “we honor both the Rebbe and his teachings which will inform and shape generations to come, as they have already...”
The event will be on Wednesday, July 2nd, 7:30pm at the Chabad House, 2352 Albany Avenue in West Hartford
